13th Ramadan...

Came to work at 8am and realized that I have forgotten to bring my digicam! Aaarrgghh... never mind. Meeting for iftar was at 6pm and I could have definitely afford to do OT but just wasn't in the mood to work. Left the workplace at 3.30pm sharp to Bugis Junction.

Makcik was busy making Raya kuihs when I called. So busy that she couldn't even pick up the phone in her room. She had forgotten to make reservations for us @ Seoul Garden. Not a problem... all I did was to go to the place itself and made reservations for 8 pax on the spot. Should have seen the look on those guys' faces. Stunned! Hahahah =)

Next stop - Kinokuniya Bookstore. Elsewhere in Bugis was super packed with people. There was a roadshow happening somewhere and I was the least bothered. As usual, I browsed and read the books till Nani called. She just had her convocation. Happy Graduation, Nani!

We still had half an hour before the rest of the gang turned up. Out of Kinokuniya, into Seiyu, BodyShop, Sony, Giordano, PrettyFit, etc till we finally found seats near Sanur Restaurant. By 6.30pm, Wak and Man came. Makcik and Pakcik were on their way and stuck in traffic jam along PIE. They arrived just in the nick of time for the break of fast. Azlina & fiance couldn't make it. Awwww! =P

Everyone had their fill. Even the charcoals burnt out before us. Noodles, chicken, beef, crabsticks, hotdogs, prawns, eggs, sotongballs, fishsticks, salads, fruits, ice kacang, ice-cream and a variety of drinks... (come to think of it, goodness!) As always, dinner is never a quiet affair with them. But it didn't matter cos the atmosphere was just as lively.

After dinner, Wak & Man took MRT to Paya Lebar station while Makcik, Nani & I got into Pakcik's car to Geylang. Parking posed a bit of problem but it failed to stop us from entering Geylang Bazaar. This time round however, it was more like an in-out checkpoint. Saw nice Raya clothes @ Joo Chiat (must go there another day in the afternoon to avoid the mad crowd), accompanied Makcik to buy Raya clothes for her nephews then went to kopitiam to meet up with the guys (guys & geylang bazaar don't mix. hahahah!). Stayed on for a while to talk and eat the dendeng Makcik bought. I finally reached home half an hour past midnight.

Really crazy... especially when I have work tomorrow at 8am. Oh well... what else is new?? Enjoy your weekend! =D
